A.Wilder Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 i imagine it would be easy to make the steering faster or slower by changing the gear-sets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convette Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Yeah that steerings done. Thats why I had to make the headers. Welp tomorrow is looking like fire up day... I got my gauges in today, just need to hook them up to the sending units. Especcially the oil pressure. Its going to look sick, I'm going get the suede covers on there tomorrow too. Just clean, and simple. I'll get a stereo eventually. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/000_0928.jpghttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/000_0927.jpghttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/100_1193.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drwojo Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Damn dude. When all this started did you really have all this in mind, or was it suppose to be a LS1 quest and a cage. It inspires me to build my own dash as well. Now that the season is closing you are almost done. Next spring will be absolutely sick. This thing is a god amongst mere mortals.

S.M.B Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 dont do that chain and sprocket setup...thats ooooold school, just mount a firewall bearing where u want it in the firewall,3/4" steering shaft and small steering knuckles like we use in nascar stuff. it will clear everything lefthanderchassis.com for parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Wilder Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) http://www.wizardsteerclear.com/index.html These guys make custom setups. The chain makes sense for hotrods and any car with a big engine mounted in a tiny engine bay with header clearance. Seemed appropriate to post here. http://www.wizardsteerclear.com/images/sib-32-ford-13-04.jpg Edited September 26, 2010 by A.Wilder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured if I'm going to go this far with things I might as well take my time and make it exactly how I want it. I'm loving the dash, and it weighs about 75% less than the stock one. I still got to get a tach, I might go with the same brand for now cause I like thier set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its a great idea for a street rod, if your gonna putz around town in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Wilder Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 After reading about the chain-based system i don't think it is any less safe than any other type of solution. Is your steering linkage going to be surrounded by headers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeuppance Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Brosports!! Haha... we've been using them for years, they're great. You gonna get one of their speedo's too?? Too bad it only goes up to 140 though... -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yokomo Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 i use my little 100 dollar baller Garmin Nuvi GPS as a speedo. and i has a map too! i don't think it has a speed limit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I got the same thing. Its more accurate that a speedo anyways. I didn't start it yet, spent most of the day cleaning up wiring and hooking up all the gauges correctly. Still need to drain the tank and put it back up in the car. White to blue is on a switch. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/100_1197.jpghttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/100_1199.jpghttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/100_1201.jpghttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/100_1206.jpg Edited September 27, 2010 by idriftjunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwrape Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 This reminds me of my Flybridge steering on my boat. It's a chain as wellhttp://farm5.static.flickr.com/4112/5023209162_13c12b5b04_z.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convette Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 i like your fan you pimp! what size did you get? its 16" for $60 f- it. It'll work for now. OOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooOoOOooOOOoooOOooo... You know what would be sweet... a Stack. -RobertYeah those are cheap. This reminds me of my Flybridge steering on my boat. It's a chain as wellhttp://farm5.static.flickr.com/4112/5023209162_13c12b5b04_z.jpg I'm still confused why anyone would think this would be a good idea, or even work in a quest. You don't want a chain contorlling your steering when your drifting. Stupid. anyways, fuel systems done, tank is in. I just got to prime the fuel pump and cross my fingers.
